Foliage Follow Up - July 2017

The day after Bloom Day, Pam at Digging hosts Foliage Follow Up - to look at foliage in the garden. With our heat, most of my foliage comes from agave and cacti. Here are some foliage-focused views right now:

this agave does not care much about heat...

I love the banding on the big furcraea in the front garden.

the opuntia is happily basking in our heat.

my a. ovatifolia in actual shade from my palo verde tree.

I'm probably far too excited about that tree finally making some shade for other plants.

It's great to see all your heat-thriving agaves and other plants. Our plants need to be super tough to get through our summers, don't they? That they can be sexy too is a bonus! Pam/Digging: penick.net

Maybe eventually? This winter, all the growing tips froze. I think that's where the buds were supposed to be? But maybe I'm wrong and I'll get those gorgeous red flowers... Now you have me hoping! Thank you!
